What's the history on Tarver's 1.8 gimmick? I don't remember that at all. Was it literally "Who can knock you out in 1.8 seconds? Me"?

I actually like DMPunk, and that was done out of love. And I wasn't making some suggestion that DMPunk is a pedo, children can be cute, everyone can be cute, and we should all be allowed to say so without getting tarred and feathered for it like DMPunk seems to.

Guess I didn't get that across in my fakequote :(

I thought if we all just sunk to the stupidest accusation to make about DMPunk, we'd all stop being so silly and talk about Wrestlers and Wrestling Fans on Twitter.

The great thing about that is when chanted by a crowd sounds a lot like "Cena Sucks"

Martha Hart still has a pending lawsuit against WWE regarding non-payment of royalties for the use of his likeness (and she's also arguing that they don't have the right to use his legal name for promotional purposes), there's no way we're seeing an Owen DVD anytime soon.
So what happens when Owen turns up on other DVDs? Is that the non-payment in question.

Seems weird that Owen wouldn't have got anything from featuring so heavily in the Bret DVD.

I feel like one of these days he is going to hit on the wrong girl and get in some poo poo. I assume WWE/Vince could care less if dudes hit on girls, but don't do it in a way where people can share proof of your conversation on the internet you doofus.
There's no real way to do that though. If you talk to a girl, you just have to assume they're recording it somehow, because they are.

Re: Hoeski

I assume all the hatred for that word is because of John Cena using it to describe Eve and the crowd taking a liking to it and chanting it as threatenly as they could at her?

Pretty sure Ryder used it first on ZTLIS (possibly in reference to Leia, I forget), and it was just a harmless, funny interpretation of broski. Cena ruined a good thing, if you can imagine that.

That's already been done. Baseball and Softball got axed for Golf and Rugby.

They haven't chosen what sport will replace Wrestling but options include bringing Baseball back, Squash, Wakeboarding, Karate, Wu Shu and probably some other really dumb poo poo.
Really dumb poo poo? Uh I think you'll find it's roller sports and sport climbing, actually.

Wrestling was one of the very few sports I didn't watch during the Olympics, but I remember a lot of Goons moaning about the elaborate coin toss red ball thing to decide a winner. If wrestling fixes itself so that the winner of a match is actually the better wrestler rather than literally the luckier I'm sure it'll do well at reconsideration for, say, 2024.

Alternatively, Winter Olympics are still pretty low on numbers, I'm all for ice wrestling.

He has literally said "this is a mark out moment, IM MARKING OUT BRO!!!"

Was this actually confirmed as the problem or did Goons just "2+2=5"? Like, I'd get it if Striker used a term like "heel" or "face" or even "kayfabe", a term Vince himself liked to toy around with on commentary, but "marking out" seems so comparatively innocent to such terms.

If I was anyone in NXT and they brought in Curtis Axel to teach me things I'd be pretty insulted. I like Curtis Axel as a character but he's still really, really nothing special.

I'm thinking this is when Zack Ryder was highly excited about Raw being at the Nassau Coliseum, one of his better ZTLIS featured a Rocky-like montage training for the night, this was at a time when he was on TV a fair bit, was semi-over with the crowd and he didn't even have a walk-on cameo in the background. Someone on the current roster (Jericho, if I recall rightly) even tweeted something to the effect of "Today you screwed the kid just to screw the kid."

I'm right in thinking nobody powerbombs in WWE, right? Is it a banned move or is Vince really trying to make sure Roman Reigns or whoever can never truly get over.

I've tuned out a bit over the last few months, but unless Swagger's Rusev feud has become massive someone needs to apply it frequently. Because Batista and The Shield are dead, and nobody wants Cena being the powerbomb guy.

Push Luke Harper to the moon.

They still do the pierogi race there!? I went to a Pirates game about 3 years ago, and that genuinely got the biggest pop of the night. The Pirates won that day, and even scored a HR. I don't know if being British is the reason why I failed to understand this but it probably added to my confusion of the events.
